Forensic deep dive: Chinese reasoning forces ox-alpha to leak Zhipu entity name
zainhas · x · 2026-08-22
The researcher continued testing the identity of the 'ox-alpha' model. By prompting in Chinese to force reasoning in Chinese, 7 out of 12 sampled responses leaked information. The model identified itself as part of the 'General Language Model' (GLM) series, with one sample directly naming the registered entity: 'Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd.' This demonstrates that language-specific prompting can effectively bypass certain safety filters to extract internal details.
